The order is closed. The next one isn’t.

A LUMÉ demo store, five screens, two acts — the coupon is earned on the first four screens and redeemed on the fifth — and the prices are the catalogue’s. Nothing on the first three screens is SalesMax, and that is the demonstration rather than a preamble to it: 8theme’s own sentence is that this booster activates right after a customer places an order, so until the order is placed there is nothing of it to draw. The first screen is a product page. Across the top a masthead reads LUMÉ, then New, Shop and Sale, then a tally reading Cart $62.40, then a cart glyph with a badge reading 2 — the cart already holds two Canvas Tote Bags, and when or from where they went in is not this page’s claim, because no source states it. Under the masthead a breadcrumb reads Shop, Outerwear, Denim Jacket. Below, on the left a large product tile and three empty thumbnails; on the right the name Denim Jacket, the price $79.00, a grey bar where a star rating would be, two grey bars of description, a quantity stepper reading 1, and a dark button reading Add to cart. Below the buy row the rest of the product page is sketched as grey chrome: a tab bar whose open tab reads Description — WooCommerce core’s own tab name — beside two grey bars where its neighbours would be, five grey lines of text beneath, and a related-products region drawn as a grey heading bar over three empty tiles, each with two grey lines. Nothing in the sketch names a product, a review or a figure. A pointer enters, climbs to Add to cart and presses it. The tally becomes Cart $141.40 and the badge reads 3 — $62.40 plus the jacket’s $79.00. Both poses were already in the page and a class chose between them; no script wrote a figure, and no event was dispatched at any drawing — the press calls a function on this page directly. The second screen is the cart, and the order is complete on it. The masthead now reads Cart $141.40 with a badge of 3. A three-step breadcrumb stands under it with the first step lit: 1 Shopping cart, 2 Checkout details, 3 Order complete. The table is headed Product, Qty, Subtotal, and there is no unit-price column. The first line is Denim Jacket, SKU LM-JK-01 · $79.00, quantity 1, subtotal $79.00. The second is Canvas Tote Bag, SKU LM-TO-03, priced $39.00 struck through and $31.20 standing, quantity 2, subtotal $62.40; beside that price a small grey rule reads minus 20%, LUMÉ’s rule. That twenty per cent is the store’s own and not the plugin’s, which is what the rule says and is the same attribution the cart add-ons page makes for the same tote. Two units of the tote at $31.20 is $62.40, and $79.00 plus $62.40 is $141.40, which is what the totals box beside the table reads: Cart totals, Subtotal $141.40, Shipping calculated at checkout, Total $141.40, and a dark button reading Proceed to checkout. Under the table a cross-sells region is sketched as the same grey chrome — a grey heading bar over three empty product cards — naming nothing. Three units in the cart, and the badge reads 3. The pointer crosses to Proceed to checkout and presses it. The third screen is the checkout. The masthead tally now says Order rather than Cart, and still $141.40, still a badge of 3. The breadcrumb’s second step is lit. Two of WooCommerce’s own notices stand above the form: returning customer, click here to login, and have a coupon, click here to enter your code. Neither is pressed, and the second cannot be misread here, because at this moment in the journey the coupon does not exist yet — it is minted on the next screen. On the left, Billing details and eight labelled fields — first name, last name, country or region, street address, town or city, ZIP code, phone, email address — each drawn as a grey bar, so no name and no address is invented; and under them, order notes, then — on wider screens — the rest of the form sketched wordless: grey label bars, empty inputs and one checkbox row. On the right a panel headed Your order, with columns Product and Subtotal, the same two lines, Denim Jacket times 1 in size M at $79.00 and Canvas Tote Bag times 2 at $62.40, then Subtotal $141.40 and Total $141.40, two payment rows with the first selected and both labels drawn as grey bars, and a dark button reading Place order. The pointer climbs to Place order and presses it. The fourth screen is the Thank You page, and for a moment it carries no coupon. The masthead reads Order $141.40 and the cart glyph now carries no badge at all, because the cart is gone and a nought would assert one holding nothing. There is no breadcrumb on this screen: WooCommerce ships no step indicator, and the neighbouring thank-you page draws none either. A heading reads Thank you. Your order has been received. Under it an overview labelled Order number, Date, Total and Payment method, of which only Total carries a figure, $141.40, the other three drawn as grey bars. Under that a heading reading Order details and the same order once more, this time headed Product and Total as the order-received template heads it: Denim Jacket times 1, size M, $79.00; Canvas Tote Bag times 2, $62.40; Subtotal: $141.40; Total: $141.40. There is no billing address block, which is the form the neighbouring thank-you page settled on. Then the coupon block arrives at the top of the page, above the confirmation heading, which is the value 8theme’s own Display Settings screenshot has selected, Top of the Thank you page, on a hook that fires before the template’s own content. The badge, the title and the description are theirs: a green pill reading LIMITED OFFER, a heading reading 10% Off Your Next Purchase, and a line reading “To thank you for being a loyal customer we want to offer you an exclusive voucher for your next order!” — with no comma after customer, which is what their frontend renders and is not what their own prose says. The coupon itself is drawn as a ticket: a perforated white stub and a green tail of white bars like a rotated barcode, the bars decorative and encoding nothing. On the stub, USE CODE: with a colon, the code NOC-3d3f79 in green, and FOR 10% OFF. The ticket’s shape — the perforation, the tail, that three-line stack — is 8theme’s own SalesMax product-page illustration of this booster, drawn there in orange and here in this suite’s green, a substitution this page owns in the notes under the appearance plate. The block’s other colours are their published Styling values — the panel’s #f4f4f4 background, the heading’s #101522 and the badge’s #ffffff type; the badge’s ground is the one exception, wearing the same suite green as the ticket’s tail — one colour for both, on the owner’s instruction, where their screenshots print #10a25c. Below the ticket a near-black button reads Apply coupon. It is the plugin’s own CTA, it is drawn, and it is never pressed: nothing published says what it does, and the button the pointer will press in the next act is a different one, on a different screen, belonging to WooCommerce core. Then the second act, the redemption their article promises in one clause — a code they can copy and use on their next purchase. No copy control appears in any of their screenshots, so none is invented: the pointer sweeps across the code and the code takes a selection highlight, a copy staged as a selection. The plate then cuts to a later visit. LUMÉ’s cart again, holding two catalogue products — a Classic White Tee at $18.00 and a Zip Hoodie at $54.00, catalogue items with no story attached — Subtotal $72.00, Total $72.00, the masthead reading Cart $72.00 with a badge of 2. The cross-sells chrome from the first cart stands under this one too, unchanged — it is the same cart drawing on a later visit. Under the table stands WooCommerce core’s own coupon row from its cart template: a field whose placeholder reads Coupon code, and core’s own Apply coupon button. The pointer presses the field and the copied code lands whole — NOC-3d3f79, the engine’s second and last write, the same string it minted. Then it presses Apply coupon — core’s button, not the plugin’s. The totals box grows core’s own applied-coupon row, Coupon: noc-3d3f79 — lower case, because core stores codes lower-cased, the same case the coupon list on the placement plate shows — then minus $7.20 with core’s Remove link drawn and never pressed, and the Total stands at $64.80: $72.00 less exactly their published ten per cent. Both totals were authored in the markup and a class picked which shows; the masthead stays at Cart $72.00, because WooCommerce’s minicart shows the cart subtotal and a coupon does not change it. Nothing animates a figure anywhere. Beside the plate two figures stand. The left one reads $141.40 under the words The order as received, and it is the figure act one builds and then may not move. The right one also reads $141.40 at rest, under the words The order plus the discounted cart — the store’s tally across both orders, not either order’s own total. At rest the order is all there is of it: the string is the left rail’s own $141.40, copied character for character, standing grey because the coupon has not yet touched anything, and under the pair a small sentence reads The $141.40 order does not move. On the frame the code is minted a pill reading 1 coupon appears beside it — one, because 8theme’s own coupon list says 1 item; the figure itself does not stir at the mint, because a mint writes a row and moves no money. Only in the second act, on the beat core’s minus $7.20 row stands in the later cart, the figure becomes $206.20 and turns green — the placed $141.40 plus the $64.80 standing in the drawn totals box at that moment, a sum derived from those two drawn figures and typed nowhere — and a split line appears under it reading $141.40 order + $64.80 cart, so the sum can be checked against the left rail and against the drawn cart rather than trusted. The placed order grew by nothing, which is what the base sentence goes on saying; at the reset the figure falls back grey to $141.40 in the same hard cut as every other reset beat. No clock, countdown or expiry appears anywhere, because the one coupon they published has none. Where that coupon lives on the placed order’s own surfaces — the email, My Account, and the row in WooCommerce’s Coupons list — is drawn further down this page, on the plate that shows every position the article names. After the longest hold of the loop, on the discounted cart, the plate is cut back to the product page with both codes emptied; that cut is instant and never an animation, because rolling a code away or a total back up would stage the coupon being un-minted and the discount un-earned, which are beats no source describes.

LUMÉ is a demo store; the prices are its catalogue’s.

▲ +25% repeat orders** Printed because our own landing card prints it — and it can be traced. 8theme’s SalesMax product page attaches it to this booster’s own section in so many words: “Next order coupons increase repeat purchases by 25 (Data by Nestify)”, with the counter’s affix set to a percent sign — so the unit on our card is right. Two wording deltas are ours, not theirs: their sentence says repeat purchases where our card says repeat orders, and their sentence says “increase … by 25%” with no “up to” where our card prefixes a +. The citation is the bare vendor name “(Data by Nestify)” — no study, no date, no sample and no link. The documentation article carries no performance figure of any kind, and the scan app attaches none to this booster either.
